Introduction
Indications for use
The Medtronic CareLink™ USB is indicated for use by patients at home and clinicians in a medical office setting to facilitate communication between Medtronic diabetes therapy
management devices that use Paradigm-compatible RF telemetry and a personal computer that uses data management application software.
Contraindications
None known.
Warnings
Product may pose a choking hazard for young children.
Compliance information
This device complies with the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and international standards for electromagnetic compatibility. The 868.35 MHz version
(MMT-7305WW) conforms to the essential requirements of the Council Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE).
The following information is provided in accordance with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesirable operation.
This device does not interfere with any radio frequency signals transmitted from outside sources. These FCC standards are designed to provide reasonable protection against
excessive radio frequency interference and prevent undesirable operation of the device from unwanted electromagnetic interference.
Important: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
RF interference from other wireless devices
Common consumer electronic devices that transmit in the same frequency band used by the MMT-7305 CareLink USB may prevent the CareLink USB from receiving the data
sent by Medtronic diabetes therapy management devices. Most cellular phones and 900 MHz cordless phones, when transmitting or receiving, may cause significant interruption
of transmitter-receiver communication. It is likely that other devices operating in similar frequency ranges will have a similar effect. This interference, however, will not cause any
incorrect data to be sent and will not cause any harm to your CareLink USB.
Communication problems can typically be resolved by ensuring that the distance between transmitter and receiving device is less than 6 feet, and by turning off or moving away
from other RF transmitting devices. You can also reorient or relocate the CareLink USB and/or the transmitting device to try to correct the interference. Testing conducted with
several different cellular phones suggests that interference will not be a problem if the phone is at least 12 inches from the transmitter or receiving device while the phone is being
used (greater separation distance may be required for certain devices).
RF Compatibility
Medtronic diabetes therapy management devices transmit in different radio frequency (RF) bands, depending on the region of the world in which they are sold. If you purchased
your Medtronic diabetes therapy management device and CareLink USB in different regions, they may not work together. If your CareLink USB does not seem to recognize your
device, this may be the reason. Contact the HelpLine for assistance.
